The barghest lay at the roadside, awaiting any cars that would pass through the narrow country roads. In times gone passed, when carriages had been pulled by horses, it had been far easier to stop them. All the barghest had needed to do was lay there and the horses would spook as they passed, but now the barghest often needed to run into the road just so the drivers would stop. So few even bothered to step out of their car where the barghest could get to them, and each year fewer and fewer people would disappear along those roads.
